66º as our high temperature for the first day of Spring? I’ll take it!
Yes, today is the first day of Spring. That means Earth’s will be tilted at 0º, therefore everyone will have around 12 hours of sunlight. It also means our daylight is going to get longer, faster.
Another day of beautiful, Spring-like Winter-time weather is here! Afternoon temps will warm into the upper 50°s.
With very few clouds and a light breeze, it’s going to be a pleasant day to be outdoors!
Spring starts this week (Wednesday afternoon) this is not a drill!
Spring starting means the average temperatures will continue to rise. Our average high is 62º now, the average low is 40º.
Today a dry cold front is working its way through Nashville. It’ll drop temperatures slightly, but no rain from it.
Severe weather is on Spring Break. Medium and long range models show no severe weather through at least the rest of March into early April. These models aren’t always right but this is what we want them to say.
As my friend and favorite pub owner Jeremy Palmer would say, “it’s a BEWT”. Nothing but Sun and a high of 57º. Below the HRRR simulates what the IR Satellite will look like through tomorrow morning.
Happy Friday!! After storms threatened us yesterday, the weather story for this week is a return of the sun. Clouds will move across our area today keeping the sun by and large hidden. The temp this afternoon with get up to around 55º and wind will keep gusting to around 20mph. High pressure will be working its way in from the west and that will make the next 4-5 days nearly cloud free.
As we’ve been saying for several days, severe storms require certain ingredients. Most of them were in place, but we were lacking enough cold air aloft to get good updrafts going.
Weather balloon data is back! Shows lapse rates too low for severe weather here. Temps aren’t cold enough aloft to cause clouds to rise/lift fast enough to get robust vertical motion needed to create a storm capable of producing a rapidly rotating updraft (aka tornado).
We are expecting showers and thunderstorms today as a strong storm system moves through the Upper Plains and Great Lakes region. The system will drag a cold front across our area today bringing storms, some of which could be severe.
Today will be another warm day with morning lows around 61°, but highs warming to around 73°. Southerly winds could gust even higher than today as a strong system approaches from the west. As far as storms go, let’s start general and work toward specifics.
Dry today. Tonight more clouds arrive and we resume talking rain.
The NAM3 model thinks light rain is possible at times tonight and again before sunrise Wednesday:
HRRR model thinks no rain tonight, but maybe a light shower before sunrise Wednesday morning:
